I have a one and half year old deaf female panda ferret. I took her to the =
vet about a week ago, and he believed she had a blockage. Before hand, beca=
use I believed the same, I was giving her lots of laxatone and the vet beli=
eve she passed the blockage. He now has her on antibiotics, Albon once a da=
y 1ml. Today is her last day. She is very under weight. She weighs 1.7 lbs =
and should weigh around 2.0lbs. I have been force feeding her 3cc of duck s=
oup once a day. She still seems so thin and frail. I also noticed for a cou=
ple of days her poo was pudding like and very dark. I checked it to make su=
re there was no blood and there wasnt. She plays and eats, but she is not a=
s active as the others, and does not seem to eat as much as the others. Wha=
ts odd she really doesnt act like she doesnt feel bad. I am very worried ab=
out her being so skinny. I am also afraid there is something more wrong wit=
h her. I live in Oklahoma and there is not that many ferret knowledgable ve=
ts around here. The one I have been going to is a good vet and cares about =
his animals, but he is knew to ferrets and just knows the basics. Does any =
one have any thoughts, please. I am beginning to get scared, she looks like=
a bone.
